People : You're number one on my wish list because I want you to say I belong to your family and vice versa. Show me off on long walks and tell neighbours how it was love at first sight when you saw me in the puppy enclosure.
Home : A place that wouldn't just be an address, but a haven where I'm kept safe from all things cruel. I'll go wherever you go and will protect you in return for your kindness.
Favourites : I would like to have a favourite treat, a cherished sleeping place and a special toy that you will bring to me when I'm sick. Right now, it's hard for people to understand what I need specifically, but I hear that when the puppy-human ratio is equal, this gets so much easier.
A name : Right now, I'm called ‘the little brown puppy', but I'd love to be called something pretty like Trixie or Scooby.
Guarantees : So far, life's been confusing and rather scary (I overheard that someone in my rescue batch had narrowly missed being run over). I would love for the ups and downs to give way to a constantly happy feeling. I've seen it in picture postcards with those silly grinning dogs and I want to know what it's like.
More wishes : My naughty best friend went home with a really nice human yesterday and I'm sure he's thinking about me now, hoping I will be as lucky as he was. If I leave here today, I hope your friends will come for mine, and that some day every little brown puppy will become somebody's Trixie or Scooby, or whatever name you folks fancy.
It doesn't matter to us - we'll come when you call.
